Gullies on Mars: Origin by snow and ice melting and potential for life based on possible analogs from Devon Island, High Arctic
Gullies on Devon Island, High Arctic, which form by melting of transient surface ice and snow covers and offer morphologic and contextual analogs for gullies reported on Mars are reported to display enhancements in biological activity in contrast to surrounding polar desert terrain.
